The "Pope Benedict" name has an interesting history for today, as the previous Pope Benedict attempted to mediate an end to the horrors of the stalemated trench warfare of the First World War that killed an entire generation of French, British, Germans, and Russians.
A war that was only able to be ended by a mobile American Army, going all the way over to Europe to do what the Europeans themselves could not.
So such a Pope's name recognizes the current global war on terror, America's role, and what part the Church should play.
